Beyond The Imaginary Gates by Iain Brownlie Roy
An unrivalled collection of images of one of the last unsullied wilderness in the world: the vast, uninhabited spaces of north-east Greenland. These beautiful, majestic and poetic landscapes exist in one of the harshest environments on earth. Roy traces the historical background with a brief outline of Greenland's early exploration. He documents the poignant traces of the Inuit tribe - their winter houses, summer tent circle, graves and enigmatic stone mosaics - and the structures left by the European trappers who once piled their dog-sledges in the lonely fjords.
Iain Roy is a graduate of Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh College of Art. He was a reader in photography at the University of Brighton where he formerly taught history of art. His first expedition to Greenland was in 1982, to the mountainous region of the south near Cape Farewell. He has since made ten expeditions in all. He now lives in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. Iain Roy is a graduate of Edinburgh University and the Edinburgh College of Art.
